In a surprising move, Sea Life mimicked its basketball team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and traded the “K. Love” name to the Greater Cleveland Aquarium. There, it will be applied a giant pacific octopus.
So what does Sea Life receive in return? It received the name “Ocho” in return, but admitted it will likely rename its octopus after Andrew Wiggins, who was secured in the Love trade.
The press release announcing this exchange really is classic stuff, with the entire text reading like an actual press release. Here is a small excerpt.
